1968 Chevrolet Chevelle
L79 300 Deluxe Tribute, Frame Off Restored ! This car started out as a 1968 Malibu. Most all the correct 300 Deluxe parts were added. No emblem over glove box, correct rear bumper, correct tail light lenses, no molding on the rear of the car, correct front fender moldings. He couldn't find the correct door panels so he used them from a Malibu, and couldn't get the rubber floor matting so he used carpet. Too many NOS parts used to even list! The car has 0 miles on it since completed! This car is as close as you will ever come to being able to buy a brand new 1968 L79 Chevelle! There isn't a nut or bolt on this car that hasn't been touched!
